PRINTlNG DEVICE! Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Ju1,v-24. i QOGQ Application filed August 22, 1905. Serial N6. 275,202.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Oscnh DICKINSON SAF- ronn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of 1Passaic Park, in the county'of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Im roved .Printing Device, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. I

My invention relates to a device for printand is especially designed 'for printing this purpose, it isv articularly desi ned for printing names,fad resses, and the .li. e.

The principal'object of the invention is to rovidefor conveniently setting up words to e rinted in such a. way that they can .be

rea il laced in alinement and readily removed iiom' the printingdevice, so as to adapt it for those classes of business in which only a small number of impressions is required. v

With this object in view I provide a frame having a perforation or space through which the characters can be projected for printing. This frame forms a guide for a plate forsupporting the type, and it also has other functions. The late for en porting the type is rovided with means w ereh the t e can e placed in holders and readily app ied and removed. I

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

'Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in longitudinalsection, of-a' device showing the principleof my invention. Fig. 2 is aplan of the same. -,.F1g. 3 is a bottom lan of one els ment. Fig. 4 is'an enlarge sectional view on the line 4 4 of Fig, 2. mentary perspective view of adated, and

Fig. 6 1s a perspective view of a type-holder" which is included in my invention.

. This'p'late is ormed withparallel sides ofsuf The drawings. show a frames; which is pr0- vided with a perforation a. This erforation preferabl extends 'lon itudina ywith res ect to the rame, .This ame is also-proguide, shown in the presentim' slightly inclined ontheir inner surfaces. At the rear end of the frame it is rovidedwith a stopa for the endof'it plate the motion of;

which is ada ted-to' be limited by said stop.

at all times in alinement with: the erfora the -pockets c.

Fig; Sis a fragficient width to be received between the flanges a and to fit the same in such a manner that the latter form a guide to keep the plate tion in the frame aand onaplat orm a which constitutes a part of the frame. v

The plate b is shown as having 'a curve from one end to the other upon its surface, whereby it can be rocked from the stop a to' the other end of the frame a and its lower surface brou ht into engagement with the upper. surface of the frame a. The plate 6 is provided with a strip a, of sheet metal or an other suitable material, alon one ed c, this sheet being crimped so as to Tomi poc rats 0.

The lower surface of the late is also provided with a series of hea ed studs d. The studs (1 and sheet 0 are designed to be re-- ceived between the opposite e foration a;

gesof the perf7 The purpose of thestuds d and pockets 6" is to receive a series of type-holders e. Each of these type-holders is provided with a pro jection e, preferably tapered at its edges for engagement in the pockets 0, and with a slot c in its other end, having an eye e for receiving the heads of the studs at The type-holders, hein supplied with the necessary type to form t e desired impression, are placed in such a position that'the eye e will slip over the head of any desired stud d, and the p rojectien e is placed at the entrance of one of I The holder is then slid toward the pocket, and the longer portion of the slot e is received below the head of the stud, while the projection 6 passes into the edge of the opening a, andcan be r'eadil r e- In order to provide for registering this in struinent with 'respeet. to the'tp'a -upon which the impression s to be me e, prov de" the frame with an'indica'ting -inark e.'- This t mark preferably extends across the frameii. and appearson both sides of the perforation so that any desired line or other device on the paper can be'placed 1n ,registration'with it, and the printing Wlll thenappear the de- :05

sired. distance. from the line 'and fparallel' In 0 oration,

the ty e havinc been set and'p aced in-the hol d ders an- ,the' holders having been applied to'the printing-plate, as 1 specified above, the latter 1s laced with its upper end in contact with t e stop a and pocket. In this way the type-holdersare.all eld in the same position with respect to the moved and replaced'by others ,when'deslred.

Q seeeee time a, uided by the flanges 13, until -gra spef'l by the other her-id and rolled alon in the all of'the type ave been forced through the perforation a and made their impression upon the paper. n

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A printing device, comprising at frame having a platform, 'a, passage therethrough, side flanges, and a stop, located near one end thereof, and a curved printing-plate for supporting type, adapted to rock along the plat form betwee the flanges, and guided therej by so as to p ject the tyipe thmugh said asguides, a printing-plate having e sage, the motion of the p e being limi by said stop.

2. In a )rinting device, the combination of a, supportmg-freme, hsving s, ,osssge and di es adapted to be moved between said nudes, said printing-plate being provided with pockets, and a, series of type-holders adapted to be remov ably-mounted on said plate, 6121811 type-holder having is projection for entering one of seid pockets, and means for l'emovebly securing it'to said plate at another point.

3. printing device comprising a supporting-heme and a printing-plete, said printingplete being provided with a series of pockets along one side, and a series of headed studs along the other. side, whereby type-holders can be removebly mounted thereon.

4:. In a printing device, the eomhinetion of a, supporting-frame heir-in s pessege and to be moved betwe-emseid guides, we printing-plete being provided with pockets elong one edge and heeded studs along the other edge, and e series of type hoiders ederpsted to f e removebly mounted on said piste, seid tering one said peel lets end e slot having on eye for lwivGQlVTi-EQ one oi'aisid headed studs. in testimony viheseoi I hsve slgned my mime to specifieetion m the pztesenee at two subscribing witeesses.
